All of the drivers were driving as hard as they could to
gain any and all positions possible. Korish was in a 20 lap
battle with Mark Lamoreaux for 2nd. Although Lamoreaux, who
finished 5th, wasn’t able to take over the position, he was
able to hold on to 3rd until Burgess passed him with five
laps to go. Kevin Nuttleman and Steve Carlson were able to
move through the field together after being shuffled to the
middle of the pack at the beginning of the race. In the end
Nuttleman was able to pass Lamoreaux and finish in the 4th
position; Carlson finished 6th.
Rookie Rick Schermerhorn won his first ever feature in
the North Country Contractors Sportsmen division.
Schermerhorn, a rookie this season, was able to take the
lead after a first lap caution that resulted in a side by
side complete restart. Branden Berg fought him on the
restart but wasn’t able to edge himself into the lead; he
finished 2nd. Jamie Millis (3rd), Jerimy Wagner (4th) and
Randy Humfeld (5th) round out the top five. The thrill of
the night for the fans came early in the race when Rob
Curran (23rd) and Ken Lewis (24th) were racing side by side
and both were forced into the wall. Curran’s car didn’t
stop. It went up and over the wall in turn three taking out
a billboard along the way. The fans stood quiet until Curran
climbed onto the wall to wave at the fans. Lewis also walked
away from the wreck unharmed.
Ed Senn won the United Auto Supply Thunderstox division
race. Instead of being the last race of the night as usual,
the race was run before the Late Model feature due to a
fireworks celebration after racing was finished. Within the
first two laps the two cars of Ray Burkum and Cole Scholze
were in the wall. The first brought out a caution and the
second gave leader Senn a chance to pull away from the rest
of the field. It didn’t last long though. A caution later in
the race brought the field back together and Senn had to
battle to keep himself in the lead over 2nd place finisher
Brad Warthan. Steve Bornitz was able to walk away with a 3rd
place finish while Raymond Hardy finished 4th and Matt
Inglett 5th.
